Show gathered the group on horseback, horse-back, I climbed back in the hay wagon and, like everything else that is good, it came to an end. Robin is runninga good stable he has Tom and Jerry, the two work horses he bought to pull the hay wagon; then there are riding horses to accommodate accom-modate any skill. Ponies for the children, gentle nags, for the novice, then there are real spirited steeds for the more advanced riders. Besides the Sunday morning breakfast ride, Robin has a Wednesday evening hay ride and plans to have a sleigh-ride in the winter. Now THAT would be fun, too! Who knows, maybe I can wangle an invitation to that some day - Robin - are you reading, this? Our Eleanor.Enioys Hay-Ride Outdoor Breakfast shortly after nine o'clock and it was by then after eleven so Scott Richards, the trail rider, m WHAT TASTES better than good food cooked out doors? What's more beautiful than a mountain canyon on a lovely summer day in Park City? And . what's any more fun than riding on a hay wagon? All of this was my pleasure last Sunday at the invitation of Robin Locke, manager of the Lazy J-Bar Stables on the outskirts out-skirts of Park City. The others rode horses but I was glad I rode in the hay wagon - I stood up in front next to Robin as he drove and I felt like a charioteer! And besides that, I had an opportunity to really visit with Robin. He's a native of Salt Lake and loves the outdoors. He's been in Park City 5 years and before that , spent some time in Montana on , a ranch. He knows horses, has i participated in rodeos. Com- i menting on some he's been in, i Robin said "Everything used to l be practically held together by ' baling wire - now they have the I rodeo in the Salt Palace! That's the way to go - air conditioning condition-ing and those big theatre-like seats. Boy, what comfort!" ! THESE SUNDAY morning i . breakfast rides are a boon to i those who don't care to ride I horseback. The trail meanders up Thaynes Canyon to a semi- m mm clearing. The work crew had gone on ahead in the jeep, Ron Corbridge, the chief cook and Boyd Nelson, his able assistant. The fires were going, coffee and orange juice ready when the group arrived, Robin and I in the wagon arrived a few minutes ahead of the riders so I had an opportunity to talk with the boys. Ron has been here in Park City about a year now and of course, Boyd is a long-time resident of Park City. There is a picnic table but it's fun, too, to sit on the grass or on a stump. The food was marvelous - delicious fresh fried potatoes, fried ham slices, crisp bacon, scrambled eggs, french toast with syrup, and of course, all the coffee in the world - coffee made the outdoor out-door way in a big granite pot. You've no idea how good it all tasted as we all sat there and chatted - folks visiting from Olney, Maryland, Steve and Jerrie Checkon, were most interested in the ski season; Terry van Brackle and Craig Carpenter had come up from Salt Lake City for the ride; Ed Morgan of the Greater Park City Company, was there with a visitor from Birmingham, Michigan - Patti Kelley. WE HAD LEFT the stables |
